Comment So this is the culprit (Score 4, Interesting) 109

I saw Star Wars the day it came out. I have the originals on VHS, DVD, Blu-ray. (Han did fire first, BTW)

While I remember dialogue from the original trilogy, and I vaguely know the plot lines of the prequels, I have absolutely no idea what happens in the last three episodes of the series. It's a blank.

Comment Reminds me of an EDA tool version 9 (Score 1) 272

A long time ago, in a galaxy far far away, we used an EDA tool whose much touted release 9 was long delayed and when it arrived was buggier than an insectarium on steroids.

Some years later I met the team lead of that release. It was because management had mandated a complete rewrite into C++. I also learned that the CFO loved that release because revenue from maintenance contracts went up. For years.

I will watch Microsoft's future progress with considerable interest.

Comment RRP Electronics vs RRP Semiconductor (Score 3, Interesting) 23

There's a well funded company called RRP Electronics which is working on package and test. They also have a famous cricketer as a strategic investor, whatever that means.

This RRP Semiconductor was a trading company which renamed itself and changed its business model.

As far as I can tell, the latter's revenue is nothing to write home about. And it's a Public Limited company which makes this even more weird, as those are expected to pass much more stringent criteria.

Shades of the Harshad Mehta era.
